In response to questions from other Twitter users, League revealed that the decision is "only about piracy concerns" rather than a general disdain for Google Glass. "But on a personal level, I advocate turning off distractions during a movie," he tweeted.

Even with the ban, League seems to understand that Glass is a developing technology. Twitter user @gay4soccer asked if Glass would allowed at the theaters if it is turned off. League said Alamo would deal with that on a case-by-case basis, "but if it is clear when they are on, clear when they are off, will likely be OK."

Our review of Google Glass found that its battery life only allows five hours at a time if used heavily on a daily basis, likely less if it's recording a lot of video.

This marks the second time that Google Glass has been at the center of controversy in movie theaters. In January, a man using prescription Google Glass was watching Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit at an AMC theater in Columbus, Ohio. An hour into the movie, agents from the Department of Homeland Security pulled him from the theater to question him about Glass. They were concerned he was using them to record the film, but was released when he showed the agents he had not recorded anything in the auditorium.

After the incident in Ohio, the Motion Picture Association of America said that the device isn't a threat to piracy. "Google Glass is an incredible innovation in the mobile sphere, and we have seen no proof that it is currently a significant threat that could result in content theft," the group said.
